07.20.20 Two Stories: Assault at Motel 19 and Hot Pursuit

2020-35089 – On July 19th officers responded to the Motel 19 in reference to an assault. Upon arrival officers contacted the complainant who advised he had arrived back at the Motel and observed a male exiting his room with his belongings. As the complainant approached the room he alleges the several unknown and unidentified males then pulled him into the room and assaulted him then took all of his belongings before they fled the room. The complainant advised he did not wish to pursue charges or have the case investigated.

2020-35218 – On July 20th at 7:00a.m., officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 2500 block of Highway 146, near the Hartman Bridge. The driver of the vehicle, who was having difficulty staying in her lane, ignored the marked patrol car with its emergency lights and siren on and refused to come to a stop. The vehicle continued on 146, striking the outer guardrail at least once and nearly causing several other collisions before it eventually came to a stop at Highway 99 and FM 1405. As officers made contact with the driver, identified as  26 year old Alejandra Meza of Houston, it was readily apparent to the officers that she was extremely intoxicated. Ms. Meza was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to the Baytown Jail where she was booked and charged with Driving While Intoxicated. Mug shot attached.
